Massey Composite Post Week 11

[ZoomZoom]

That's about the odds LSU had last night to win.

So you mean this happens about once every nine years....

[CajunEXPRESS]

We’re overdue. Still App is really good team for that big moment.

Georgia Southern probably costed the conference many millions in NY6 Bowl. Now all we can do is knock them outta top 25.

If both schools win out to the CCG, that game will be for a league title and the right to finish the season ranked in the Top 25.

Also, the winner of that game has a very good chance to start the season next year ranked.


This is real.

This has been the most relevant, interesting SunBelt in the history of the football playing league as currently construct. If the Cajuns and Neers play for an SBC title, it will also be the most relevant, interesting and nationally paid attention to game in SBC football history.

Certainly if App reaches the CCG at 11-1 and the Cajuns come in at 10-2; given that all the evidence is that the teams are evenly matched, it will draw a huge amount of attention from football savvy fans. Even though no NY6 slot is up for grabs, this is the first time in recent history that any G5 conference other than the AAC can possibly end the season with two top 25 teams.

Imagine a situation where UL beats App 14-10 and both finish 11-2; then both hammer a perceived quality bowl opponent. I can't imagine a scenario where App would not be ranked at 12-2 with at least 2 P5 wins, nor where a 12-2 conference champion UL would not be ranked with a win over App and a quality bowl win on the resume.

This outcome would go a long way toward separating the SBC from the MAC and CUSA, and would close the gap on the MWC.

BEST part of this deal is that we will be MUCH better next year, especially defensively, while App only returns 3 defensive starters.

We play miss state again in 2020?

No, but we play Missouri with no Kelly Bryant.

You're kidding yourself if you believe that any G5 CCG will be "nationally paid attention to". Few other than SBC fans will pay any attention to the SBC CCG, and the same is true for every other G5 conference CCG. It's just the way things are. The only CCG games that are "nationally paid attention to" are those P5 conference CCG's that have playoff implications.

Eeyore. Put down the rope and step ladder, pal.

The game is on the Mother Ship. It will be plenty paid attention to. Especially in Vegas.

Playoff impilications matter a whole lot less to people regionally than most think. CFB is becoming more and more regionalized, just like MLB.

Neither one of these are sentences, but yea.

Nationally, yes, no one will care. But in the SEC / ACC / Big 12 areas, people are taking note. I was talking with some family after the Bama LSU game this weekend, and one of the die hard LSU mentioned how App beat SC and how to his knowledge it was the first time a G5 had beaten p5 twice in one season. He led the convo about sunbelt conf champ implications and definitely had a higher level of respect for the conference than he used to. If we beat App in a close game and then both of us win our bowl games, both should finish season ranked top 25.

You guys are like Republicans looking for media love. Ain’t gonna happen, and frankly I’m not gonna lose a minutes rest worrying about it. When we matter nationally we’ll get plenty of hate and some love.
